MaxPreps & GameChanger are partnered to share stats for high school baseball and softball. Coaches who score their games on the GameChanger Scorekeeper or Team Manager app can configure their team settings to sync their stats to MaxPreps. There is also a one-time import option to sync your MaxPreps roster and schedule to your GameChanger account, saving coaches time on managing both admin accounts.

How to gain Coach/AD admin access?
2. Once in your Coach Admin, add your schedule & roster. Entering this on MaxPreps first will save you a lot of time later.
*Please note that if you have already entered your roster/schedule on GameChanger, that is no problem! You will want to ensure that your roster on MaxPreps matches with what you have on GameChanger or vice-versa to ensure the stats have the best possible chance of syncing over automatically!
*If you need to add a game or add an athlete at any time, you will need to do so on both GameChanger and MaxPreps.
GameChanger Side-Utilize the Import MaxPreps Buttons:
1. Go to gc.com and create a team account. Be sure to set up the team as a 'Prep/High School team'. When asked to sync your information to MaxPreps, be sure to say yes!
2. Once in your team account, you can copy your schedule & roster over from MaxPreps to GameChanger.
3. On the schedule and roster pages, you will select, 'Import From MaxPreps'. Please note, in order for these buttons to appear, you can't have any athletes or games listed on the roster or schedule.
That's it. Now that you have everything set up, the game files will be sent to your MaxPreps Coach Admin where they should be auto-approved and published. If the game does not reach the minimum of 4 innings, the file will not come over to MaxPreps and you will need to manually export and import the file.
4. On the next page, fill out the required information and make sure to select Primary Team at this level box.
That's it. Your GameChanger team is now synced with MaxPreps. Down below you can learn how to import your MaxPreps schedule & roster to GameChanger.
